"Downloaded"? Do you mean that you ran "hg update os200906"? Note that
right now, the latest source intended for use on 2009.06 is available from
a different source repository, "pkg/2009.06". It may eventually be merged
into the main gate, but hasn't yet. It also has newer changesets in it
that are available in /support and /release, though it also has some
changesets that aren't available in those repos yet.

Something went wrong with the build; "hg id -i" failed to run correctly.
You must have mercurial installed if the clone succeeded. What does "hg id
-i" say? If you search for that message in setup.py, change the except
statement to read
except OSError, e:
and put
print >> sys.stderr, e
after the first print statement, what error do you see?

If you run "make packages", there'll be a directory in the root of the
workspace called "packages". But "make install" only creates the proto
area in proto/root_$(uname -p).
